(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-16508835: The reporter called on 8/11/2008, to report exposure of her cat to a topical flea product containing the active ingredient Methoprene. According to the reporter, she applied the product to her cat for the first time on approximately 7/28/2008. Within 2 days of application, the cat exhibited hair loss at the application site. The cat had not been seen by a Veterinarian at the time of the call. The safety profile of the product was discussed in that hair loss would not be an expected reaction to product use. It was recommended that the reporter discontinue use of the product and bathe the cat thoroughly to remove any remaining product. It was also suggested that vitamin E could be applied to that affected area as needed to promote skin healing. The reporter was advised to seek Veterinary care if symptoms persisted or worsened. No further information was provided.
